I have been meaning to play along with the shaker card challenge at Virginia's View for a couple of weeks and time is fast running out so this was my top crafting priority for the weekend :)
Here is what I came up with using my new super hero stamps from Mama Elephant and a range of Simon Says Stamp supplies:
I stamped and die cut my little super hero and coloured him with Chameleon Pens. The background was inked with Chipped Sapphire and Faded Jeans distress inks and I used the SSS star stencil with silver glitter paste. I die cut the SSS stitched circle in silver mirri to create a frame around the aperture and also die cut the shine sentiment from WPlus9 in the same card. The You is from SSS. I filled the aperture with some blue and silver sequins from Doodlebug.
I'm glad that I was finally able to join in the fun at Virginia's View - there are some fantastically creative shakers in the gallery!
I will also link up at SSS Flickr Challenge #12 which is sparkle. The silver mirri, silver glitter stars and sequins add lots of bling.
I am planning to send the boys out this afternoon so will be sneaking back in to my craftroom later :)
Thanks for your visit and kind comments - they make my day!

This card is lovely Sarah and such a cute image. I love the sequins you have used for the shaker and the stitched SSS circle and sentiment together with the pretty sparkly stars are a pretty combination. Funnily enough my single name was Gray with an 'a', and I haven't come across it that often in blogland before, apart from Barbara Gray here in the UK. x

ReplyDeleteI'm so behind with my comments but couldn't miss out on letting you know how much I love this shaker card. All that shiny silver and blue totally caught my eye and that little super-hero is so adorable. And you did such a good job with the star stencil, they look amazing.
